I made something so quick and easy using a vanilla pod jar.
When I buy vanilla beans from the supermarket they come in this screw top glass jar.
I cleaned the jar and wrapped some wire around the top to form a loop.
I had a set of 3 Fleur de Lys push pins from Bunnings Hardware that I'd bought years ago. They were brass so I spray painted them white.
I hung the vase to fill a space in the gallery wall I am creating above my work desk.
I filled the vase with water and a single rose.
This brings a little cheer to me when I'm sewing or working at the table.
When I don't have any fresh flowers, I keep this little artificial bud in the vase.
So simple, but so pretty.

ReplyDeleteSheer genius Kylie! I just haven't been able to bring myself to throw out my old vanilla pod jars. I knew one day I would find a good use for them and voila! Have had a lovely time exploring your fantastic blog and already have a whole heap of projects to undertake in the September school holidays. Keep the inspiration coming! ;)Sharyne
